[Closed] Stolen Chumbas!!

Gutted for you, having suffered ourselves recently.

Post pics and let's circulate.

Good idea about pic's, not thinking straight! I will post photo's later when i get chance.

Thanks for the concern Brant.

ah crap, what area are you in Si?

These thieves seem to be hitting loads of people recently! Sorry to hear that...

I am in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

Sorry to hear that. There can´t be that many 18" Holeshots about though so fingers crossed for getting it back.

Gutted for you. 🙁

i'll keep an eye open down here

Feel for you, hope you recover the goods

Thats spank mate... 😥

Will keep an eye out round this neck of the woods, seems to be an awful lot of bike thefts at the moment, where the hell are they all going?!?

Will keep alookout. The 'good' thing is is they are relatively niche and will stand out like a sore thumb.

Arseholes though. ****ing arseholes.

si - contact peak bikes down on chatsworth rd - see if they will bob it on their facebook page

Oops, apologises for the swearwords mods.

Good luck finding the bikes! It sucks big time, you guys (not just Si) work so hard and some [i]caralho buceta[/i] nicks that.
Can we finally start dishing justice out to the scum instead of being polite?

Where do all of these bikes go? Is there a huge gang of little chavs who storm round the hills covertly hoping none of us notice that they are on our bikes? Hope you get them back Si.

I will be driving around all the LBS and letting them know. Thanks for all the kind words and support.

Properly gutted for you buddy will let people know to keep there eyes pealed

Sorry si, it was me, you keep posting pic's of 'em and I ain't got no money!

I jest. Hope you get 'em back fella.

Gutted, thieving scroats - know how it feels!! Will keep an eye out in Lincoln area

Sorry to hear that Si......hopefully you'll get sorted either way...

I think us around the Sheff/Peaks area seem to be a bit of a hotspot......we've been doing nights (admin) since we opened and almost everynight there are people doing drive-bys in battered old flatbed trucks at all times of the early morning....the other morning a truck was primed for a ram raid at 3am with spotlights blaring in and facing our front window......until they saw one of us walking out of the back office to the shop coffee machine!!

We have a list of registration plates, some seem to be know, others not so.......let me know if we can help with any info....

Not sure what to do really.....other then shoot the buggers next time they drive by!!

Having to live your life around scum bags.......

All the best chap

If it were me I would wonder how they knew about my bikes. IMHO these thefts are to specific to be random. Can you identify how they would have known about the bikes?

It could have been any number of types of people. The bikes were mainly my own bikes in my own shed, not my normal stock storage.

It could have been that someone has seen me riding my bike home, someone who has enquired about a frame then seen where i live (registered address on the website) and put two and two together.

They were certainly after the bikes and knew what they were doing, must have been a massive set of croppers to get through the padlocks i have/had.

look on ebay, gum tree and the like, you be surprised how daft some of these arse hole's are, a mate got his DH bike nicked turned up the next day on ebay. the plods woke the seller up at three in the morning got the bike back and found a load of other bike's, drug, and various other shit as well
good luck getting ur bikes back and capitol punishment to all bike thieves.

i have informed my area

Feel for you. Many years ago we had 2 motorbikes nicked from the shop ... we'd just finished building one for a magazine. Gutted doesn't do it justice.

However, I did in the end find the bikes and somehow the culprit spent the night in a river with his wrists cable tied to his ankles ... can't think how that happened.

Fingers crossed you'll see 'em all again.

sounds fair enough to me
😛

Good chance they will come up on ebay. The amount of people who have told me there nicked bike has turned up on there is unreal. Its the only real good outlet for them to shift such quality stuff and make it worth while nicking stuff. I doubt they will be selling one of the above bikes for 100 quid etc. So the bay is a good bet for one of them turning up on there. Can take months thogh as it seem they think you forget about it after that time.

Sh1te, sorry about that si. Proper nightmare. Hope you get it back, and almost as importantly that the thieving scumbags get what they deserve.

Kev

Si - can see where the security leak may have occurred with registration the bikes and address. Its the sort of connection they are looking for. Its not by chance. Like you said they came prepared and clearly knew what they were doing.

Sorry, hope you get them back.

Si - sounds like they really knew what they were doing - not sure you've got much chance against someone that organised, but what are you going to do apart from become completely paranoid? Problem is you have to think like a thieving scumbag to defeat a thieving scumbag, and that's no fun.

Anyway I hope it's not getting you down too much. All the best.

Also google "bike" or Mountain bike" into these search sites just incase

[i] Not sure what to do really.....[s]other then[/s] shoot the buggers next time they drive by!![/i]
Fixed it for you.

A horrible feeling I never want again. I hope you get them back.

what a bummer really feel for you Si - lets hope you get your steeds back fast and the scum get their comupance!!

It's bad enough he got them nicked, but to called them 'steeds' is rubbing salt in the wound...

Sorry to read about this Si. I hope your bikes turn up. BTW, I've finished building up my Holeshot Ti and I love it!
